Impacts of Population Explosion on Air Pollution
Air is essential for the survival of all living creatures. The quality of the air we breathe greatly affects the quality of our lives; whereas we can survive for days without food or drink, but we cannot survive without air for more than a few minutes. However, air pollution has emerged as one of the greatest risks to human and environmental health, making access to clean air a global concern.
Pollution of the environment is often related with population increase. Population explosion is the primary cause of global environmental pollution problem that exists today. It is becoming impossible for the environment to meet the demands of billions of people by filling the gaps created by a growing population and diverse human activities that have exceeded the nature’s capacity. Our ecosystem, especially the biosphere, is negatively impacted by population increase excessively. Approximately half of the planet’s surface was covered in vegetation at the dawn of human civilization, but now only a very small fraction survives.
